ultimate inspiration

I thought it would be fitting to start this thing off by sharing my ultimate style inspiration. This iconic photograph shot by Helmut Newton of Scandinavian model Vibeke wearing a "Le Smoking" suit by Yves Saint Laurent appeared in French Vogue in 1975, and has been a major influence on my personal style for as long as I can remember. Every once in a while I will fall in love with a floral pattern or the color pink, but at the end of the day my style is strongly rooted in an intense love affair with menswear-inspired clothing. So much that I often find myself in the men's section looking for things to wear, and ways to recreate the power of this particular photograph.
